Vaccination Support for Pregnant Women and Children in Wyoming

Vaccinations play a critical role in protecting both pregnant women and young children from serious illnesses. Wyoming offers a variety of programs and clinics to ensure vaccines are accessible and affordable for families.

Vaccinations for Pregnant Women
Vaccines during pregnancy help protect both the mother and her baby by providing antibodies that pass to the infant before birth. Recommended vaccines include:

Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: Safe during any trimester and helps prevent seasonal flu.
Tdap Vaccine: Protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough); recommended between 27–36 weeks of pregnancy.
COVID-19 Vaccine: Recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women to reduce the risk of severe illness.
For more information, visit the CDC's guidelines on vaccines during pregnancy.

Vaccinations for Children
Routine childhood immunizations protect against diseases like measles, polio, and chickenpox. Key vaccines include:

Hepatitis B (at birth, 1–2 months, 6–18 months)
DTaP, Polio, MMR, and Varicella (administered throughout early childhood)
HPV Vaccine (recommended starting at age 11–12)
Refer to the full schedule at CDC’s Immunization Schedule for Children.
